-APPARATUS FOR BIJRNING GARBAGE.

SPECIFICATION .I'orming part of Letters Patent No. 355,851, dated January 11, 1887.

Application filed August 7,1886.

Serial No. 2l0,249. (N0 model.)

and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Burning Garbagein NaturalGas Stoves,which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to a device for burning garbage in stoves that are heated with natural gas. Since the disco very of this fuelnatural gasand its application to cook-stoves there has been great inconvenience experienced in burning kitchen garbage, and this difficulty has deterred a great many from using this new fuel. All this di't'ficultyI overcome by my invention, which will be more fully explained hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cooking-stove, partly broken away, with my device shown. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the garbage-pan,showing the bottom of the same, while Fig. 3 is a like view of the same with the bottom closed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents an ordinary cooking-stove.

B is the fire-grate.

A is the ash-pan.

O is my garbagepan, on the back of which are the corrugations c 0. These corrugations allow the gas to freely pass up behind the pan 0.

c c are rests on the pan 0. I

c is a movable bottom for the pan 0, and is fastened to the same 011 the rod 0.

c is the opening at the bottom of the pan 0, and is in the form of a slot across the entire length of the same. As will be seen by reference to the several figures, this pan 0 is much wider at the top than at the bottom, an end view being (E a V shape.

The garbage such as potato and apple peelings, coft'eegrounds, corn husks and cobs, besides floor-sweepings, &c.may be thrown into the pan 0, where it is readily consumed by the gas-flame passing over the same and up through the bottom 0, (when left open.) WVhen anything is thrown into the pan 0 that, is likely to at once fall through the bottom 0, then the bottom door or swinging bottom, 0, shouldbe closed. Otherwiseitmay beleftopen. Vhen a quantity of ashes accumulates in the pan 0, they may be raked through to the ashpan by means ota pokerorothersuitable means.

I put the rests c c on both sides of the pan 0.

. stantially as described and shown.

3. The hopper-shaped open-bottom pan provided 011 its sides with rests or lugs, substantially as specified.

4. The combination, with the longitudinal parallel perforated burners, of the hoppershaped pan provided with side rests or lugs, substantially as specified.

5. The hopper-shaped open-bottom pan herein specified, said pan being provided with a hingedlid for closing the open bottom thereof, substantially as specified.

6. The combination,with the hopper pro vided with side lugs, of longitudinal parallel burners and of supply-pipes communicating with said burners, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 hereto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
